Wireless Internet access goes live at 24 Timberland Regional Libraries
Timberland Regional Library (TRL) is pleased to offer free wireless Internet access to patrons in 24 TRL libraries in Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific and Thurston counties. Service began Monday, December 12. Access is available during each library’s regular open hours.
Wireless networking in the library offers patrons numerous benefits:
It allows patrons to bring their own laptop computers to the library where they can access the Internet and the library’s research databases, catalog, and other TRL Web page resources.
Patrons do not need to wait for an available library Internet computer.
It allows the public more computer and Internet access in the library, while saving the library the cost of buying additional computers.
Patrons can use their wireless computers in most areas of the library; they are not restricted to the designated library computer areas.
There is no charge for the service and it is not necessary to schedule time in advance.
Information about using wireless in Timberland libraries and general setup information can be found online at http://www.trlib.org/trlinfo.htm#wireless. Library staff will not be providing technical assistance.
Due to network challenges, the Ocean Park, Ilwaco and Naselle Timberland libraries will not have wireless access.
Timberland Regional Library serves the information, reading and lifelong learning needs of the Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston county public at 27 community libraries and 5 cooperative library centers. The library system is funded by local property taxes. For information on any subject, the public can telephone Timberland’s Central Reference Service librarians at 704-INFO (704-4636) in the Olympia area or 1-800-562-6022, toll-free, from all other areas. Or they can "Ask a Librarian" online at
www.trlib.org. Anyone needing special accommodations to participate in a library’s program may contact the library a week in advance.Revised 12/14/05
